Due to the growing population of the area, the current four-lane road experiences high volumes of congestion. Capital is responsible for providing and planning the signing and marking of this project and temporary traffic control plans (TTC). The widening of Vanderbilt Beach Road is part of a long-term extension plan of this corridor.

Responsible for the Planning, Design, and Services during construction of the corridor. The project was approximately 6 miles in length and included safety improvements along Josie Billie Highway from Rock Pit to Rodeo Arena and will provide for a safer facility that currently serves as the primary access to the community area of the Big Cypress Reservation. On this project, Capital staff members gained valuable transportation planning that they will/have use(d) on future/current projects.

Responsible for the planning of corridor. There is a 1.29-mile long that involves improvements to George Billie Road and Frank Shore Road including paving currently unpaved sections, drainage improvements, align and overlay existing paved sections, signage and marking. To reduce construction impact and achieve cost savings, these road improvements have been coordinated with utility needs and a water main replacement.
